Random Team Generator

You enter a list of names (one per line), choose how many teams you want, and the tool randomly shuffles and assigns each person to a team. The algorithm uses a fair Fisher-Yates shuffle to ensure every participant has an equal chance of landing in any group.

When 'Balanced' distribution is selected, the tool distributes members as evenly as possible. If the total number of participants doesn't divide evenly, some teams may have one extra member. You can also choose 'Allow Uneven Teams' if strict balance isn't required.

There's no strict limit — you can add as many names as you need. The tool works well for small groups like classrooms of 30 and large events with hundreds of participants.

Yes! Simply click the Generate button again and the tool will re-shuffle all names and produce a completely new random team assignment from the same list.

Random assignment eliminates bias, favoritism, and the social awkwardness of draft-style picks. It's the fairest way to form groups for sports, classrooms, workshops, or any collaborative activity.

Yes — use the 'Team Name Prefix' field to set a custom label. For example, entering 'Group' will label your teams 'Group 1', 'Group 2', etc. instead of the default 'Team 1', 'Team 2'.

Teachers use it to form study or project groups, coaches use it to create balanced sports teams, event organizers use it for workshop breakout groups, and managers use it for brainstorming sessions or team-building activities.

You can create anywhere from 2 to 50 teams in a single run. The only practical constraint is that you need at least as many participants as teams — each team must have at least one member.
